My basement kept having puddles of water alongside the partition wall between my neighbors home and…read moremine.. i've asked her to address it but she was stalling so i had to take matters into my own hands. I contacted 2 waterproofing companies, B Altmans being one of them and decided to go with them for their reasonable price and the extent Barry went through to explain to me everything in detail over the phone. He was on vacation and still answered phone calls! From start to finish, he checked in with me, and explained thoroughly the whole process. He even referred me to a public adjuster after we found out this water problem was stemmed from my neighbors broken water pipe! Marco was professional, a very hard worker and always on time! He finished the whole job himself in just a matter of days. Altmans also provides lifetime warranty on their work which is a huge plus. I would totally recommend them to family and friends!!! Photos show water damage and mold, and the waterproof barrier Marco created to help block out water!

I noticed some dark spots on the Sheetrock in the corner of my finished basement. I wasn't sure…read morewhat was causing the moldy looking wall. I realized that water was puddling at the bottom of the basement wall when it rained. The water was also hidden under the concrete. Even when the keyway looked nearly dry, I could feel water, mud and wet rocks under the concrete floor. Days went by and panic began to set in; I wasn't sure who could fix something like this. It would be a huge job to rip up the driveway and fix the water problem from the outside. I needed someone to fix the wall leak and the hole under the slab. It had to be done from the inside. Luckily, I found B. Altman's Waterproofing. I figured I would call and leave a message (it was already late but I wanted to put a call in and get the ball rolling) Surprisingly, the owner answered. He had me send photos of the basement wall, floor etc. Barry analyzed the situation quickly. He realized the wall had a long crack as well. He answered all my questions and described why and how leaks like this occur. He assured me that the problem was very fixable. Two days later, Barry's technician, Marcos arrived promptly at 9am. He spent the entire day fixing the problem. He cleaned out the crack in the wall and added epoxy injections all along the damaged areas. Then he filled in the cracked keyway. Marcos was a true professional, his work was clean and he kept my house neat; even making sure to use a drop cloth everywhere he worked. The job was finished in one day! About a week later Staten Island had what was called the wettest December ever. Floods were everywhere in the tristate area. It was about 2 days worth of nonstops rainfall! Two of my neighbors told me that they had to use a shop vac to dry up the rain that had entered their basements, but my basement was actually dry for once! Thank you B. Altman's for locking the water out of my house!

Practically rebuilt the staircase. He has old school work ethics where as when he says he will be there BELIEVE ME, he is. Works his full day and some instances longer. Takes true pride in his work. Above and beyond. I didn't think contractors were like this anymore, and he proved me wrong. True, honest, hard worker, and absolutely responsible. I work, so I had to leave Nick in my house without me. I gave him a key and he came and went. Absolutely beyond comfortable with leaving him in my home. All I can say is if you are looking for a carpenter, LOOK NO FURTHER. Nick is your guy and would never disappoint. I wish I could put before and after pics on here to show the complete transformation. Completely fair priced. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We reached out to Jean on Wednesday about getting a wooden door frame fixed that had broken. He…read moreresponded really quickly and schedules us for Friday. He even sent us a few pictures of similar work he had done. We sent him the deposit and was all set. Rained pretty heavily on Friday and he reached out and said he thinks it would be best to reschedule for Saturday at 9am due to needing to possibly saw some pieces outside. Liked that he took the initiative to reschedule instead of taking a chance. Showed up perfectly on time on Saturday, all supplies ready to go. Told us he thought the work would take 2-3 hours- he was done in about an hour! Did a great job and you can't even tell the difference between the existing door frame and the new piece. Left everything in great condition and requested a broom so he sweep up. We also have a kitchen cabinet that cracked- and wanted to show him. He explained how we could easily and cheaply just fix it ourselves. So cool. Really nice guy who does great work- we will keep him in mind for future needs and highly recommend him!
